About Samantha
Samantha Chan is a Maryland business and civil litigation attorney with Lewicky, O’Connor, Hunt & Meiser in Fulton, Maryland. She represents businesses, business owners, employers, employees, and individuals in commercial disputes, contract disputes, employment matters, business transactions, contract negotiations, landlord-tenant matters, and select family law matters throughout Maryland.
Her practice includes counseling clients before disputes arise, negotiating business and employment issues, handling lawsuits in Maryland courts, and preparing matters for trial when resolution cannot be achieved. Samantha’s experience allows her to provide clear, honest advice about what makes sense, what is worth pursuing, and how to move forward effectively. She positions her clients from a place of strength so that, whether resolving a matter or proceeding to court, they are protected and well-prepared.
Clients trust Samantha because she is measured, responsive, and focused on outcomes. She brings a steady, logical approach to complex and often high-stress situations, with the goal of protecting her clients’ interests while minimizing unnecessary cost, delay, and conflict.
Professional Background and Education
A Maryland native, Samantha was born and raised in the Baltimore area and attended The Bryn Mawr School. She went on to attend Franklin & Marshall College, where she earned degrees in Economics and English, with a minor in Women & Gender Studies, and was a member of the Omicron Delta Epsilon international economics honor society.
Samantha later earned her Master of Arts degree in English from Georgetown University, where her studies emphasized writing, critical analysis, and close reading, which continue to shape the way she approaches legal research, advocacy, and problem-solving.
She earned her J.D. from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, where she pursued the Alternative Dispute Resolution track. As part of that concentration, Samantha participated in the law school’s Mediation Clinic and completed the training and experience necessary to qualify as a mediator under Maryland Rule 17.
Her background in economics, writing, and dispute resolution informs her practical approach to the law: understanding the legal issues, communicating them clearly, and evaluating problems from both a strategic and real-world perspective.
Outside of practicing law, Samantha enjoys trying new recipes, exploring local events around Maryland, and spending time with her husband and their three dogs. She stays active through running, strength training, Pilates, and hiking.

I went through a difficult and messy divorce, and Samantha Chan’s legal expertise got me the win. Samantha was vigilant with quick and thorough communication regarding my case. She included me in every aspect of the case so that I stayed informed and asked my opinion on every matter, which I appreciated very much. I couldn’t have been any happier with attorney Chan and her actions that led to a legal victory. Thank you!
Attorney Samantha Chan of Lewicky, O’Connor, Hunt, and Meiser, LLC represented my interests in a legal matter over the past 6 months. She was highly professional, personable, reachable, and was able to explain complex legal situations in “understandable” language. I highly recommend her and her firm for anyone seeking legal assistance.
I’ve worked with LOHM on a few issues now, and I’ve always been very happy with both their professionalism and the outcome of those engagements. I look forward to continuing to work with LOHM in the future, and I highly recommend them for anyone in need of legal services.
We worked with Samantha Chan to deal with a very difficult tenant. Samantha was able to negotiate with the tenant and achieve a satisfactory outcome for both parties. She is smart and knowledgeable to applicable law in state of Maryland and is highly recommended.
